Shovels & Spades

Shovels and spades have a wide range of uses throughout domestic, commercial and industrial applications. Here at Roofing Superstore we are proud to offer a selection of shovels & spades for your latest project, at our famously competitive prices.

Shovels and spades are two names that are widely interchangable, but there are some differences. Shovels tend to have a larger and more concaved, or rounded blade compared to a spade, which has a much flatter and smaller blade. Additionally, shovels tend to be used for breaking up materials, and digging whereas spades are often used for slicing through ground and materials.

Depending on your preference, you can opt for wooden shafts and handles, or all steel handles and shafts. Wooden shafts are lightweight and easy to replace if damaged, but is not as weatherproof, and can come loose. Steel shafts on the other hand are sturdy and strong, designed for more industrial applications, but are much heavier, and conduct electricity so cannot be used near any live cables.
